Do you ever feel like you are drowning in "all the things" necessary to build a successful business. Tools, resources, software hardware... the list goes on and one and can get quite overwhelming really fast! 

Today, I am sharing how I broke up the the “must have business tools” and started building a business that feels really good for me. Like a warm cozy sweater on the first cool day in fall! I'm sharing 

☕ What I thought I needed to do or have to be a "real grown up business owner" 
☕ The “must have business tools” our world tells we have to have 
☕ The software app I deemed the “Software-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” 
☕ What I no longer use 
☕ And the short list of what I kept. 

I am also sharing how you can take an up close and personal look at what you have so you can decide what to release with clarity and confidence. 

What I hope you take away from today's episode... 

☕ You don't have all the things just be successful
☕ A lot of the "success proof" we see online is fluff, empty promises, and dodgy marketing.
☕ Making our dreams come true is a process with ups, downs, wins, losses, triumphs and setbacks.
☕ Having all the things "necessary" for success is often just more to do and more to manage 
☕ You probably have success already –– hidden under the noise and clutter 
☕ There is A LOT OF OVERLAP in the must have tools and resources 
☕ You have my permission to keep things simple!
